Vieira Triples in Three-Way All In

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

Joao Vieira pushed for his last 16,200 from the cutoff and Joni Jouhkimainen moved all in from the button for far more. The action folded to Huidong Gu in the big blind and he called the two all ins with the biggest stack.

Vieira: {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Jouhkimainen: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Gu: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} to give Vieira a triple up and Jouhkimainen doubled up his additional 61,500 chips through Gu.

A Look at the Shorter Stacks

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

[Removed:17] defended his small blind against Joao Vieira and eventually gave up on the river of a {3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades} board after checking and then facing a bet worth 15,200 by Vieira.

Andrew Chen took a different line and just shoved into a 6,000-raise by Jussi Nevanlinna to scoop the pot and several other well known pros will be forced to do the same soon, too.

What's up, Jason?

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier has spent a rather quiet day at the tables so far and lost a bunch of chips compared to what he started with while Elliot Smith has ran out of chips. On Mercier's table, Bryn Kenney is dominating most of the action and just raised to 7,000 from under the gun.

Raoul Refos was the sole caller from one seat over and they headed to the flop {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Kenney continued for 11,000 and was called before firing the {4-Diamonds} turn for 17,000. Again Refos called and the {4-Clubs} river completed the flush draw of the flop. Kenney jammed and the Dutchman eventually tossed his cards in the muck.

Big Stacks Tangle

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Sylvain Loosli
Sylvain Loosli

Three healthy looking stacks sat behind each of Juha Helppi, Sylvain Loosli and Martin finger as they tangled in a pot moments ago.

On a {3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs} board to the turn, Helppi bet 37,000 into the 70,000-chip pot and Loosli called.

Finger folded, and Helppi joined Loosli in checking the {5-Spades} river. Loosli showed {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Helppi mucked, giving Loosli the biggest stack of the three going forward.

Ekvardt Busts Chen

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Andrew Chen
Andrew Chen

Andrew Chen raised from early position and was called two ways, by Emil Ekvardt on the button and Jussin Nevanlinna in the big blind. On the turn of a {K-}{9-}{5-}{Q-} board, Chen jammed with {K-}{Q-} for top two pair only for Ekvardt to look him up with a set of nines. The remaining kings and queens in the deck didn't come to the rescue of Chen and he headed to the rail.
